- A focus on controlling the introduction of change

- Communications with stakeholders
- Developing and implementing a management plan, leading a team and closing a project in a controlled fashion
A Project Manager will need to work in a manner which encompasses multiple different forms of construction (modular, volumetric etc), facilities management techniques and a variety of other onsite processes and logistics requirements. The increasing use of digital data and technologies in our industry also require another unique set of skills which need to be taken into account.
Project management techniques and tools are useful for any tasks in which different outcomes are possible and where risks of problems and failures exist. This drives the need for planning resources and managing project activities to deliver a successful result.
Remember; project management techniques are not just for project managers – they are available and useful for anyone working in our industry and can be closely linked with our other management topics including Collaboration.
